Exxon’s lithium operation in Arkansas will likely experiment with a yet unproven lithium extraction method. If successful, this environmentally friendly method could turn Arkansas into a main domestic ...

Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the plasma. Past experiments studied solid lithium ...

Since the early 2000s, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the predominant rechargeable power source for many mobile devices, electric vehicles, renewable-energy storage grids and more. But the ...

Lithium ore and mining waste from a historic lithium mine located west of Charlotte, North Carolina, are unlikely to contaminate surrounding waters with common pollutants such as arsenic and lead, ...

Brittle, microscopic structures called dendrites form in lithium-ion batteries and can disrupt battery performance. Unlike bulk lithium, which is pliant and supple, dendrites fracture under stress.

Low-dose lithium can block an enzyme linked to cellular aging and functional decline in the kidneys. The corresponding study was published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. Although commonly ...

Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the fusion plasma. Plasma, the fourth state of ...

This view of the inside of LTX-β shows what the donut-shaped plasma containment device looks like after the lithium has been cleaned off the shell walls and several ports were opened. PPPL Staff ...
